City Hall Sounds Returns for a Fifth Season

August 3, 2017 The City of Thunder Bays Crime Prevention Council announced the fifth annual edition of
City Hall Sounds today, which will bring live entertainment, local food trucks, and community partner
information booths to the South Core neighbourhood.

City Hall Sounds is about celebrating Thunder Bay and its people. Its about building our sense of community
and making our city safer and more inclusive, said Jeff Upton, Chair of the Crime Prevention Council. I invite
everyone to come out and enjoy these community events and the urban public space at City Hall. Its a great
way to spend a lunch hour and it contributes to community safety.

An initiative of the Crime Prevention Councils Strong Neighbourhoods Working Group, City Hall Sounds will
run each Thursday in August from 12 - 1 pm in McGillivray Square - the public space in front of City Hall. Each
event will include live music, food trucks, and community partner information booths. These events are open
to the public and everyone is welcome to attend at no cost. The aim is to create vibrant, well-used public
spaces, which are major determinants of community safety.

These events aim to provide an opportunity for residents to connect with others who live and work in the
neighbourhood, said Lee-Ann Chevrette, Coordinator Thunder Bay Crime Prevention Council. Its also a
chance to connect with community partners and learn more about the work they are doing to improve
community safety.

City Hall Sounds will feature live performances from local musicians. The entertainment schedule for the series
is as follows:
